Why this matters
Technical Resource Library
RSM organizes technical and public sources so users can see what a document covers, who issued it, when it was reviewed and where official requirements must be confirmed.
Standards and best practices
Source hierarchy
Official legislation, codes, municipal requirements, conservation-authority material, standards, manufacturer instructions and applied guidance have different roles.
Standards and best practices
Review dates and change control
Programme amounts, eligibility, standards and web links can change. Resource records should show last-reviewed dates and verification notes.
Standards and best practices
